Still, in defense of Michael Pollan, I suppose I could have and occasionally did eat this much pasta, pizza, ice-cream, fried-foods, etc. without so much trouble. This sort of food is just difficult to eat in these sorts of quantities (I suppose on account of all the fiber). Anyway, breakfast was fried-egg-on-rice, tomato and bell-pepper, milk
lunch: corn & celery, steak sandwiches w/dijon mustard
dinner: salmon cooked with mushroom & salsa, bread. A bit of a dangerous experiment with leftovers but it ended up tasting like bouillabaisse. Measuring weights after cooking was tricky but basically I fished out chunks of salmon and counted the rest as veggie.
Two of the snacks were berry mix, the other was a large orange.
Tonight I hope to do a better job of preparing the food as this was all a bit of a rush today. I went and bought just about every veggie in the store that I didn't recognize or don't know how to cook. As Patrick wrote, "We're living in the matrix." Indeed. For the record, as for rutabaga, you boil it.
Good choices on everything here except those colors in your chart. My eyes!!!

ReplyDeleteRutabaga is excellent with carrots. Boil 'em together, mash 'em up with a bit of butter (a no-no, I'm sure) or olive oil and pepper.

Every veggie can be steamed!
